G’s Evaluation or the Top 263 for Week 10

Welcome back to the latest GCR rankings. A couple of things after some pretty major upsets yesterday. First, we started the weekend with 9 undefeated teams. Pittsburgh, Iowa St, and Dartmouth all lost. That leaves just Army, BYU, Indiana, Miami FL, Montana St, and Oregon perfect so far. Similarly, we had 7 winless teams coming in and congratulations to Fordham, VMI, and Utah Tech for getting win #1. That leaves Kent St, Marist, Mississippi Valley, and Northwestern St still searching for a post-game celebration.

…..

Here’s some college football trivia. There are only 3 Core 4 teams that have never had 10 or more wins in a season. One of them is sitting at #1 in the GCR for the 3rd straight week. For the first time, Indiana trailed in a game going into the second quarter against Michigan St down 10-0. All they did was win the next 45 minutes 47-0. With 9 wins and games against Michigan, Ohio St, and Purdue left (plus post-season), they have a real chance of hitting that milestone (and joining teams like NC St, Wake Forest, and Kentucky who have 1 double digit season). Iowa St, who lost for the first time this season, 23-22 to Texas Tech, and now 7-1 with games with Kansas, Cincinnati, Utah, and Kansas St remaining. They also have a good opportunity to join the double-digit club. The third team is also having a magical season. Not only has Vanderbilt never won 10 in a season, but they’ve also only won 9 games twice. With the win over Auburn this week, they are 6-3 and need to win 3 of the next 4 (counting the rare bowl game for the Commodores). They face South Carolina, LSU, and Tennessee. 2024 may not be the year, but Vandy is a very good football team.

…..

With that here are the Top 263 for this week. It’s November which means MacNation (MAC teams playing Tuesdays and Wednesdays) begins. Conference USA is shifting back to Saturdays. Thank you for reading and, as always, for sharing with others, G
